That should never happen (unless you've manually configured updates to
be applied automatically).  There are some update gui's that give you
this option, and there is cron-apt.  It may have been checked
accidentally or a bug may have enabled it by default.  Anyway, that's a
separate issue that deserves its own research.

No, it just hasn't been on my radar since the bug report was lacking a
"patch" tag.  Now that the solution is clear, I will fix it (well, when
I have some free time).

Best wishes,
